Been looking forward to this for a while!
Definitely one of the most unique and among the most wierdest films i have ever watched in my life. And the wierd thing is that i can't describe it if its good (and actually in some ways artistic), serious or more like a parody comedy.
It's extremely well acted, must have been very difficult to act like this, but at the same time some scenes is way too much and makes it look like a parody. In some ways its primitive realistic and humorous as a follow up. The masks and make up is very well made.
I think its the first film ive watched where theres no spoken dialogue which makes is more realistic.
Filming is definitely very good.
Something uou havent ever seen before. Brings the concept of the mysterious Big Foots, to a whole new perspective and meaning.
It definitely has something i like, but more difficult to explain what it is.
Its not good, but it isn't bad.

I dont know really
This was definitely something else...
Granted, I had never heard about this 2024 movie titled "Sasquatch Sunset" prior to sitting down to watch it. So I didn't know what I was in for here, aside from it apparently being a comedy with sasquatches.
Well, this movie wasn't really much of a comedy, and I wasn't brought to any laughs throughout the course of the 88 minutes that the movie ran for. It was, however, a very, very unique movie. I must admit that in my many years of watching movies, then I have never actually experienced anything like what directors David Zellner and Nathan Zellner delivered here. "Sasquatch Sunset" is a movie that will find easily find a liking with everyone in the audience as it is a rather odd and unique movie experience.
You actually come to care for the sasquatches as they trek through the wilderness and you sort of form an attachment to them, basking in their accomplishments and grieving with them in their loss and sadness. And that was a nice accomplishment from writer David Zellner and performers Jesse Eisenberg, Riley Keough, Christophe Zajac-Denek and Nathan Zellner.
I must admit that I actually enjoyed watching "Sasquatch Sunset", because it was not a mainstream movie. And the fact that it wasn't a comedy didn't really matter, because the movie proved to be entertaining nonetheless.
"Sasquatch Sunset" is a visually impressive movie. I really liked the sasquatch designs, because they looked realistic and believable. Well, as realistic and believable as imaginary creatures can get. The costume designs were really good and added a lot of flavor to the movie. But not only was the costume designs good, but the entire way that the movie was shot, with the nature locations and the cinematography, that was quite aesthetic as well, adding great layers to the overall impression of the movie.
And in all my years of watching movies, I never thought I would ever see sasquatches fornicate, defecate and urinate on the screen. But here it is, in all its natural glory.
The movie only has four names on the cast list, and with Jesse Eisenberg being the only familiar name. I will say, though, that the acting performances in the movie were good, despite there being no dialogue.
If you enjoy movies that deviate from the norm and from the mainstream cinema, then you definitely should take the time to sit down and watch "Sasquatch Sunset". I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the entire movie.
My rating of "Sasquatch Sunset" lands on a six out of ten stars.
Quest for Dumb and Dumber Sasquatch
This is one of those films that you have to go in and really be ready for one of the most primal, dumb and dumber renditions of a very water down version of quest for fire, which was a superb movie, but unfortunately, this one ends up being some pseudo fairytale of mostly watching some Sasquatch playing with themselves and acting dumb and dumber each moment of the film progresses to the point that you just start to wonder why are they even making this film
Once you waddle beyond suspension of belief it sort of of entertaining if you're in for some bizarre sh-t and giggles yet overall the cinematography is fantastic but the believability is not plausible And unfortunately not much really happens to make it really thought-provoking, and then it gets into the 3rd act which is total absurdity towards the end when you realize what the concept is.
Kudos for even attempting to make a film like this, which must've been quite an extravaganza, getting dressed up to create these characters, yet unlike quest for fire that was a phenomenal story and film- this comes across as Quest for dumb and dumber writing that just is an insult to the Sasquatch. The only part missing is the what if factor but that wears thin quickly
Four stars for make up and grunting.
